Just as I was preparing for the college entrance exam, my childhood sweetheart awakened the Wa-senpa

Chapter 100 Ming's Mother

"Stop, stop, stop, stop!" Chen Chen quickly interrupted Lin Jianlu's long-winded explanation. "Look at what you're saying! It sounds like you were there all along!"

Oh, you don't know anything! This is called deductive reasoning! High-level detectives like Sherlock Holmes, Borough, and Miss Marple all do it this way. It's incredibly cool!

Besides... even if you don't know these things, is it that hard to watch a couple more episodes of Detective Conan?

If it were Lin Jianlu, she would have already shouted these words out.

But right now, she's Lin Baolong, so she can only suppress her urge to complain and say something rather bland:

"Deductive reasoning works like this; you don't need to worry about so many details."

"Oh, okay! You can continue." Chen Chen nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

This embarrassed Lin Jianlu. In order to persuade Chen Chen, she even prepared a long discourse on deductive reasoning to explain the professionalism of this method.

But now you just say "Oh, okay" and that's it?

She felt a little frustrated that she hadn't managed to pull off such a cool and impressive act.

But it doesn't matter, there's an even bigger challenge waiting for Lin Jianlu to put on!

"At that critical moment, every second wasted could have resulted in the loss of a life. So, Chen Chen didn't have time to think. He didn't even have time to take off his clothes. He hurriedly took off his shoes and socks and then jumped into the water, swimming towards the two people without hesitation."

"Rivers during the flood season are not as calm as they are during the still water season. The current is not exactly rapid, but it's close. Not only were the two women swept away little by little as they struggled desperately, but even those two lifebuoys, if they hadn't been tied with sturdy nylon ropes, would have been swept away as soon as they were thrown in."

"Soon, following the rope, Chen Chen reached the two lifebuoys, but this was only the beginning. He had to get close to the two struggling women as quickly as possible, carrying the lifebuoys!"

"This is no simple matter. You see, those rigid life rings aren't like inflatable ones, which are light and flimsy. To ensure safety and sturdiness, they are quite bulky and have a certain weight, not to mention being subjected to the scouring of the water. So for Chen Chen in the water, although he doesn't have to worry about his life because of the life ring, he has to swim while pulling the life ring towards his destination. You can imagine how much physical exertion that will take."

Lin Jianlu stared intently at Chen Chen, trying to find some trace of memory on his face, but he just smiled faintly, seemingly not caring at all about what she was saying.

Hmph! Just you wait! Wait until I strip you completely naked!

"But Chen Chen still managed to do it; he brought the lifebuoy to the two drowning women."

"But then he noticed that one of the women was completely exhausted and didn't even have the strength to put on a lifebuoy. The other was in a similar situation, barely managing to put on a lifebuoy."

"So Chen Chen put life rings on them, and then, using the buoyancy of the two life rings, he swam and pushed at the same time. Finally, when he was almost exhausted, he reached the shore. At this time, a few onlookers appeared on the shore to help him."

"So, watching the middle-aged woman with the swimming ring use her last bit of strength to push the drowning girl ashore, and then everyone on the shore noisily pulling her up, Chen Chen felt an unprecedented sense of accomplishment. At that moment, he must have been thinking things like, 'There is true love in the world,' or 'Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda.'"

"So, in order to show off even more, Chen Chen did not accept the help from the people on the shore. Instead, he slowly climbed ashore on his own, glanced back at the ambulance taking the drowning woman away, and then glanced at everyone fussing over the coughing woman."

"Hehe, is this what it feels like to do good deeds anonymously? It's so enjoyable!"

Thinking this, Chen Chen silently pedaled his bicycle away, the wind blowing against him, his soaked clothes giving him a cool feeling. It seemed that this summer could no longer bring him even the slightest bit of sweltering heat...

"In the following days, Chen Chen kept hoping that someone would come knocking on his door or into the school to give him a grand title of hero for saving lives. He even prepared his mental script for media interviews, so that he could say things like, 'I didn't actually want to be interviewed,' or 'What's the point of doing a good deed if you leave your name on it?' That would be too pretentious, wouldn't it?!"

"However, although people praised him for his bravery in daily life, he waited and waited, but no official personnel from the Association for Bravery came to him. In desperation, he searched for reports about the incident."

"But the search results were unacceptable to him."

Lin Jianlu stared intently at Chen Chen. She finally noticed a slight change in his expression, though it was almost imperceptible. She could still read a sense of helplessness in it.

I hate this guy's heartless attitude the most, and now she's finally found his weakness!

She smiled excitedly, then spoke:

"There are quite a few related reports, but all of them identify the person who saved the life as a middle-aged woman named 'Ming Mama,' praising her with phrases like 'female power,' 'boundless love,' and 'iron rose.' Putting aside the truth, they are practically trying to portray this single mother as a goddess."

"But what do we gain if the truth is discarded? Lies?"

"Chen Chen cannot accept this. He feels that it is a small matter that his good intentions have been taken for granted, but deceiving the public, deceiving everyone, and making everyone cheer for a fraudster who deceives the world is something he absolutely cannot tolerate."

"After a patient investigation, Chen Chen discovered that this heroine named 'Ming Mama' seemed to have planned to steal the credit long ago: the 'Ming Mama Helps You Buy' sales account was created four days after the rescue, and it also had operational support from a related MCN agency."

"So it seems that this kind of deceitful behavior was actually done by a group of people in an organized and planned manner. 'A monk may be a fool, but a demon is a monster, and he will surely bring disaster.' In that case, Chen Chen felt that he could no longer remain silent."

"So, he posted a video on his account, the main content of which was to clarify the truth about the rescue on August 26th, and to warn the group of despicable people represented by Ming's mother that he would not allow them to use stolen achievements to fool the public and make money through unethical means!"

"But to Chen Chen's surprise, shortly after the video was released and just as it was gaining some traction, someone contacted him."

Lin Jianlu's gaze was serious as she slowly revealed the truth that had been concealed:

"And this person is Xie Linyu, the key figure who committed the crime of deception."

"Or rather, Ming's mother."
